When i tried googling this all i got was posts on where to hide during earthquakes. What im trying to figure out on the other hand is which continents/countries are the most safe and which ones are the least safest regarding earthquakes?

The reason for my curiosity is that a guy from school mentioned this week that i shouldnt fear earthquakes in Norway, europe where i live because its the safest place on earth from earthquakes.

One of the least safest areas of the world is Istanbul and the countries along Adriatic sea. Specially Istanbul because it's located on top of two shifting earth plates(I don't know if that's the right expression)

i'd say one of the safest places earthquake-wise is most parts of Africa, which for a large part consists of ancient stable cratons, and apart from the east-african rift valley and its northern border where it pushes into europe only has passive margins

EDIT: I should expand by mentioning that earthquake preparedness varies considerably from region to region. For example in Japan PA speakers mounted throughout every neighbourhood tell people what to do, where to go, and "Hitomi-chan, your mommy's waiting for you at the schoolyard." etc. Also Californians and Chileans are relatively prepared.

Possibly the most dangerous place, because of earthquake intensity and non-preparedness, is Vancouver, British Columbia. We have essentially the same plate movement of California or Chile, yet "we don't get earthquakes" because in our case the opposing plates are "sticky" and so relieve their accumulated energy only every 400 years or so. This is a megathrust event. The compressed coast slides about 20m toward the Pacific, and drops about 1m. The last event occurred in 1700, striking Japan with tsunami. Part of Greater Vancouver is built on sea-level river delta, so at least those parts submerged needn't worry about fire. :|

Depends on the point of view and how you may analize the issue.
Chile is one of the most probable places, where an earthquake will get produced, but since this fact being right, we are kind of well prepared for these kind of events, since we are always certain that in a 20 year period, we will have to suffer a big one.

Imho, the unsafest place where to be if eventually an earthquake takes place its where it is unexpected by not being probable by any means, as Australia and Southern Africa. I don`t think that their constructions are even anti sysmic, so if building start falling down, the numbers of dead and injured would be huge compared to the places where earthquakes usually hit.
:?

You are correct. I used the word 'unsafe' to mean where there are most likely to be bad earthquakes, but a minor earthquake can be very dangerous if people are not prepared. The Haiti earthquake is a good example.

Chile is a country, like Japan and New Zealand, where earthquakes are expected, and buildings are designed to withstand them. Since earthquake deaths and injuries are mostly caused by falling buildings and parts of buildings, constructing to high standards makes an enormous difference. The recent Chile quake was an exception, since it was so massive at 8.8 on the Richter scale. At those energies, even well built structures may collapse.

To essentially restate what's been said: the safest places are those that are located on stable (shield) cratons. My own location, Manitoba, for example, hasn't had active tectonism in 1.8 billion years.

The next safest place would be areas of active tectonism in developed countries. For example, Japan and the west coasts of US and Canada.

Next in line would be developing countries such as Chile.

Lowest on the list would be examples like Haiti, where an earthquake 1000 times less powerful than Chile's caused x1000 the human death toll.
